  • Title: Radiation myelopathy: significance of gadolinium-DTPA enhancement in the diagnosis.
    Author: Michikawa M, Wada Y, Sano M, Uchihara T, Furukawa T, Shibuya H, Tsukagoshi H.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1991; 33(3):286-9. PubMed ID: 1881553.
    Abstract:
    We described two cases of chronic progressive radiation myelopathy (CPRM), in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was of great value for the diagnosis. Gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) enhancement delineated precise lesions responsible for Brown-Séquard syndrome caused by CPRM in both cases. This safe, sensitive procedure will be a requisite study in patients who are suspected of CPRM.
